Hi, I'm Rouven - Researcher at the BIH

In research, because I believe knowledge should be produced for the benefit of everybody.

Currently, part of the Robinson Group and building tools in rust to make Phenopackets more accessible. I will soon start research on the topic of phenotyping and Bipolar Disorder.
